AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted.
To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”
/4 Anyway, a long-time theme of Trumpism, and an increasingly common theme of the Republican Party, is that violence is justified against protesters because protesters are evil. It’s a deeply foul, thuggish, un-American sentiment.
Maybe the real FIFA Peace Prizes are the wars we started along the way.

The Epstein Fallout: Andrew's Arrest & The Complicit Doctors Who Acted as Epstein's "Cleanup Crew"
The Epstein scandal has resulted in the arrest of Andrew. However, Epstein's cabal of enablers, including the Dubins & doctors at Mt. Sinai, remain unscathed.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here
McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

It rocks that the online voice of the US government is "computer-damaged reactionary virgin."
We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.
If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.
AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"
Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:
I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
ICE is lying. Go figure
I am just so fucking proud of her.
If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious.

We feed you.
They hunt us.
That probably would bother her bc she wouldn’t be considered.
New from KFF: Medicaid is popular. Most people have some level of personal connection to the program, and few want to see federal spending on Medicaid reduced, including among Republicans and Trump voters.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.
Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.
